We loved it!
Pros:

Hotel Boheme catapults you back to the era of the beats. It’s an ode to an older version of North Beach, from the decor to the sherry to the attentive staff. The property itself is ideally located Columbus avenue, but the true joy in our stay came from exploring the hotel— including vintage photos and newspaper clippings. Hotel Boheme offers a highly curated and unique stay that was perfect for our time in San Francisco.

Cons:

It would have been nice to have a small fridge in the room, but the experience overall was wonderful nonetheless!

Fabulous location and stay. Would stay again if I ever go back
Pros:

Location fabulous. Surrounded by alfresco Italian restaurants and cafes. Cafe downstairs excellent. Located near beginning of China town. Felt very safe, even late at night. About a 20 minute walk to fisherman's wharf or the ferries.
Bed was exceptionally comfortable and cosy. Bathroom small but adequate. Shower good. Staff friendly and helpful.

Cons:

It's an old building. So no lift and stairs a bit steep. Not a problem for us but maybe for some. Dragging heavy luggage up the stairs was no fun.
It was very dark. Great for sleeping in. But the light in our room was dull so sometimes it was hard to find things in my bag.

I would recommend staying at this cute little boutique hotel. We got very lucky and they were having a north beach festi
Pros:

It was super cute and clean

Cons:

No AC but to be honest the windows were open and the fan was perfect. In a city that does not get to hot it works

Pros:

Very nice people on a great location.

Cons:

Nothing complain really. We had a room on the inside of the building. So we didn't have a view. But we didn't mind because we were out all day. I think the building is quite old, so it can be a little noisey. But all together, a really nice place.
